James Mitchell is the CEO of Strategic Blue, a financial cloud brokerage firm offering for cloud computing, financial and analytical services more commonly seen in the commoditized utilities markets. For the past six years, Dr. Mitchell has been pioneering various financial cloud brokerage concepts that are now gaining widespread acceptance and
adoption based on his background as an originator of structured physical commodity transactions at Morgan Stanley.
Featured in books and reports as the leading authority on how the IT market will change because of the move to a utility (or "cloud") delivery model, he is a frequent speaker at events and has made successful predictions about how the cloud market will develop over the next five years. Dr. Mitchell correctly predicted the price coupling currently observed in the cloud IaaS market. His expertise in the pricing of pseudo-commodities is highly relevant for any organization looking to buy, sell, resell, or trade cloud services at scale.
He has a doctorate in DNA Nanostructures from Oxford University and a first-class master’s degree in experimental and theoretical physics from Cambridge University.
